The inferential stabs made by
made by the Telegraph, at a certain
republican are cowardly in the ex
treme. The Colonel should have
the courage to come out flat-footed.

A "republican" who would give
Colonel Ellingham an item of poll
tical news is a monstrosity such as
would command a premium in any
museum. No self-respecting repub
can would hold communion with the
Era editor.
The auditor of state, Eugene
Moore, has just caused to be pub
lished an itemized statement of the
appropriations and expenditures ot
the Twenty-fourth session of the
Nebraska legislature. It amounts
to the rather neat sum of $2,894,

If there is no "ring" within the
pop party of Lincoln county, from
whence comes the determined effort
to shelve Newell Burritt? Surely
the rank and file of the pop party
has not risen up in a body and de
manded that Burritt be defeated in
the next convention.
If the pop party of Lincoln county
has not receded from its noble reso
lutions of four years ago, none of
the present pop officials will be re
nominated. In the convention of
1891 it was the sense of that body
that no candidate, if elected should
ask for a second term, and a promise
to that effect was exacted of the
nominees.
The utter unfitness of democrats
to fill positions where executive
ability is demanded is conclusively
shown in Chicago, where a demo
cratic administration went out of
power leaving a deficit of several
million dollars as the result of one
year's work. The condition of the
national treasury offers additional
evidence of the lack of ability on
the part of democrats.
The vote of last fall did not indi
cate that hundreds ot republicans
in Lincoln county are ready to join
the populists, as is claimed by the
Era. The truth, the undeniable
truth, is that the pop ranks are be
ing decimated daily, and the desert
ers are taking- refuge- under the re
publican banner. And Colonel El

As 'was anticipated the fake Era
fails to produce any proof whatever
that a caucus was held at The
Tribune office and whiningly saj'.s
it obtained its information from a
republican, whose confidence it
could not betray. This is a very
childish claim, and an exceedingly
slim attempt to vindicate itself of
falsehood.
Now that the Napoleon of politics
and the saviour of the republican
party ColonelHill has announced
that he has no preference for county
candidates, the public will breathe
easier. And especially is this true
of the gentlemen who will be candi

they were included on the "slate"

the court fined him for obstructing
the streets. He appealed the case.
The sweet girl graduate in her

Yet who would dispense with the
sweet things. It is true that she
kuows a good many things, that are
so, but when she grows older she
will be less ambitious to sway the
destinies of mankind, provided she

that neither is able to distinguish

To show Colonel Hill's inconsist
ency: In 1892, during the presiden
tial campaign, the "renegade dem
ocrat" now employed by The Tri
bune was doing similar service for
the Telegraphy Had any one re
monstrated with: Colonel Hill for
giving' employment to the "rene
gade democrat1- he would have
promptly replied that it was no
body s business who he employed,
and this is the reply The Tribune
gives Colonel Hill.
The Eratic sheet- of the populists
in this city is nothing if not incon
sistent. In its last issue it makes
a labored and painful effort to con
vince the public of its probity
then turns short around and pub
lishes a garbled extract from an
alleged utterance of Fred'k N. Cou-
dert one of the stauhchest "gold
bugs," in support of its position on
the money question. Either the
editor is lamentably gullible in this
land of free schools and enlighten
ment, or else wilfully dishonest; as
it was but a few weeks ago when
the above gentleman delivered an
address in New Yxrk City in which
he riddled the specious sophistries
of the fiat fanatics who are mas
querading under the name of "free
silver men."
Some individual, whose name is
not attached, has addressed a letter
to The Tribune containing the
following words: "Will The Tri
bune support the nominees of the
republican convention?" The letter
was evidently intended "as a piece
of sarcasm, but it affords The Tri
bune an opportunity to make the
declaration that if the ticket nomi
nated is composed of clean, compe
tent men it will be supported with
a vim and vigor never before known
in the county. If, on the other
hand, any clique of men force
through the convention any incom
petents, things will be different.
The Tribune reiterates the state
ment that it hasrrio "pets;" all it

of the Telegraph we would say that
whatever editorial opinions of poli
tical matters in this paper are those
of the individual whose name ap
pears at the top pf the column over
pure reading matter, and are not to
be attributed to anyone else con
nected with the office. This for the
benefit of the Telegraph and others
of its ilk. whOL are endeavoring to
break whatever influence The Tri
bune may have with the members
of its own party, by attempting to
impeach their accuracy because
there is a subordinate employee of
this office who is of a different polit
ical faith. The Tribune is too
liberal in its views to attempt to
proscribe a man because of honestly
differing from it in either political
Dusmatters. This cannot
be said of some individuals and
and some still smaller-calibered
editors.
BLAINE UPON SILVER.
In 1884, when it was thought ad
visable by the republican national
convention to declare itself in favor
of bimetallism, the platform, re
ported by William McKinley, now
governor of Ohio, read thus: "We
have always recommended the best
money known to the civilized world
and we urge that efforts should be
made to unite all commercial na
tions in the establishment of ,an
international standard which shall
rfix for all the relative value of gold
and silver coinage."
This plank attracted little atten
tion, but it served to call out from
Mr. Blaine in his letter of accept
ance argument for bimetallism
which is far .more significant now
than it was then. That remarkable
statesman had a clearness of appre
hension which enabled him to
illuminate every subject upon which
he turned the light of his genius.
At that time the greenback ques
tion was not so far in the- back
ground as to be -wholly obscured.
No man had done more than James
G. Blaine to preserve our legal
tender paper money without run
ning into fiatism. Having referred
fittingly to the settlement of the
greenback question, he added the
observation that "the one special
requisite for the completion of our
monetary- system is the fixing of
the relative values of silver and
gold." Having thus defined the
subject in.handhe made the follow
ing, argument- in support- of the
bimetallic plank of the platform on
which he stood, argument which is
just as pertinent now as it was
years ago.
"The large large use of silver as
the money of account among Asiatic
. - T1 " z
nanons, lasen in connection witn
the increased commerce of the world
gives the weightiest reasons for an
international agreement in the
premises. Our government should
not cease to urge the measure until
a common standard of value shall
be reached and established a stan
dard that shall enable the United
States to use silver from its mines
as an auxiliary to gold m settling
the balances of commercial ex
change." MORE OR LESS. PERSONAL.
To the indiscriminate liar whose
name appears ostensibly as the
editor of the Telecraph: It is
with feelings of pity for your reck
less habit of lying in regard to a
political opponent either directly
or. by insinuation to which I wish
to direct the attention of the public.
Your intimation that I in any man
ner connived or conspired at the re
moval of Dr. F. H. Longley as a
member of the local pension ex
amining board is but on a par with
your, customary statements made
against your .opponents during a
political campaign. You have al
ready established such a local
notoriety as a, direct descendant of
Ananias that had your charge been
made during a canvass no attention
would have been paid to it, as the
public would have estimated it cor
rectly without the necessity of call
ing attention to its inaccuracy.
Even the slightest investigation
among those who contributed to
the removal ot the learned doctor
should have proven to the most pre
judiced that I had no hand in the
affair. On the contrary, when I
was approached upon the subject
discouraged the idea because itwas
being made without first apprizing
the victim of the fate that he might
expect. In fact I took it upon my
self to give a hint of warning in the
local columns of The Tribune.
Another reason that I took no inter
est in the affair was because I
knew of no democratic physician
who cared for this wonderfully
lucrative and honorable position.
although but a short time ago a
republican physician of this city
was endeavoring to secure the
same.
Another thought is that had the
good doctor such a strict sense of
the proprieties as your paragraph
would indicate, it seems to me that
he had a glorious opportunity to
resign during President Cleveland's
first term. Did he do so? Again
was the same chance presented dur
ing the present administration, yet
he gave no sign of relaxing his grip

faction in the discharge of the posi
tion simply ask J. W. Voodry, John
W. Sawyer and other republican
members of S. A. Douglas post, G.
A. R., what has been his usual
attitude toward the ex- soldier. It
will not be necessary to accept any
proof from me upon this part of the
subject.
About all there is to the matter
is the fact that the milk of human
kindness in the bosom of the good
doctor still remains soured and
clabbered from his defeat for the
legislature in 1886 by John Treacy,
in which the old soldiers of Lincoln
county took an active part in his
downfall. At that time, as is his
custom, the writer made an open,
manly fight against him, with what
success the result will possibly
show. After events have only de
monstrated what was said of him
during that campaign, viz: that he
was a cool, calculating, unsympa
thetic individual who was unde
serving of political honors at the
hands of the public What "snick
ersnee" he may have concealed in
his sleeve for the writer is a matter
of supreme indifference, as in the
future, as in the past, he will rely
upon his own ability to fight out
his own battles. All that is desired
though not always expected from
some adversaries is that they get
out into the open, and then a fair
field and no favors.
Henry L. Walsh.
An exchange says: The recent
change in the law of our state,
which raises the age of consent to
ighteen years, is likely to bring
about a condition of affairs which
as not thought of when the law
was passed. It may, under the
new law be unlawfnl for a girl
under that age to marry or for the
officiating clergyman or officer to
perform the ceremony. If the courts
should so hold no doubt the result
would be beneficial to the commun-
ity. .

AppelHtmeat of Egan Confirmed aad W.

CeBdltleaed Upon Payment f
Mortgage Interest by Jnly-1.
Salt Lake, June 10. Judge Merritt,
of the .Third district court, handed down
his decision in the Oregon Short Lino
and Utah Northern railroad case today.
He appoints John M. Egan of St. Paul
and W. H. Bancroft of Salt Lake as re
ceivers of the entire property within the
jurisdiction of the court. This is upon
the condition that interest now due on
the mortgages shall be paid up by July
1 and that all interest falling due there
after shall be paid within 30 days from
maturity; otherwise the property shall
be surrendered to the receivers of the
Union Paciiro road. Air. Bancroft is
one of the general superintendents of
the Union Pacific system.
On the matter of receivers' certificates
the order is silent. Union Pacific people
are jubilant over the decision, and feel
that they have won a victory that will
enable them to continue to hold tbe
Short Lino system.
WILL BE SENT TO WOODSTOCK.
Question as to the Time Debs et aL Will
Serve.
CraoAdo, June 10. Eugene V. Debs
and other officials of the A. R. U. will
be sent to the Woodstock county jail to
morrow. The certified copy of th8 or
der of the United States supreme court
was received today and the United
States marshal was ordered to return
the men to jail. The men under sen
tence of imprisonment are E. V. Debs,
G. W. Howard, S. Keliher, L. W. Rog
ers, James Hogan, W. E. Burns, R. M.
Goodwin and Martin Elliott. There is
a question as to the time the men will
serve. The original sentence was six
months for Debs and three months for
his associates in two different contempt
cases, the sentences being made concur
rent by the court. The defendants' at
torneys later had the sentences made
cumulative in order to take a desired
legal action, and the time to be served
by the prisoners is consequently a mat
ter of dispute. It is thought probable,
however, that an effort will be made to
have Judge Woods reinstate the concur
rent sentence.

hours despite protests that ha was a citi

his passport and naturalization papers
in proof. At the end of two days he
was brought before a military court and
examined and found to be eligible for
service in the German army. His papers
were taken from him and he was sen
tenced to six weeks in prison, at the end

Vancouveh, B. C, June 10. Advicee
by the steamer Warimoo are as foUowa:
Anthrax, a diseoso of sheep, is preva
lent in some parts of Australia in a
most fatal form. The disease baffles the
doctors, who can find no remedy to
counteract its ravages. A number of
bullocks shipped from Victoria colony
to England have died from pleuro-pneu-monia
on ship board. Cattlemen in the
colony are greatly excited, fearing that
England will stop aU shipments. Ex
perts have been engaged to examine all
cattle hereafter shipped to Europe.
Pilgrims are constantly returning"
from the new Australian colony in Para
guay. 'They say that an attempt was
